Chapter 17 The Sword Master

Sophie's eyes swept over the four young adventurers, stayed on the thin figure still sitting quietly on the ground, and finally stopped on the middle-aged man standing with a sword. Mo Hongyu also frowned and stared at the thirty or forty-year-old brown-haired man in front of him. Looking at the six people present, he only gave himself an invincible feeling. This is not an illusion. You must know that the practitioners have always been very sensitive to danger and emotions. In addition to practicing boxing diligently for twelve years, Mo Hongyu has not put any effort into spiritual practice, so his intuition is also keen.

"I'm disturbing. The merchant ship where my sister and I were on was robbed by pirates a few days ago. My brother and I took advantage of the chaos to rob a small boat and escaped fortunately. When we saw a fire here, we came here. We still wanted to ask if there is a nearby harbor city? If we can tell, we will thank you very much in the future." Sophie first gave a slight salute, and then lie without changing her face.

Sophie and Mo Hongyu both had black hair and black eyes, and their delicate and upright facial features. They stood there together, looking like a sibling.

These words suddenly relaxed the solemn atmosphere on the court.

The middle-aged brown-haired man believed it after a moment of thought. The young men and women were not like the pursuers sent by those people. Judging from their appearance and manners, they were indeed children of nobles. He put away the knight sword in his hand and naturally gave a knight salute to Sophie and Mohongyu: "The nearest harbor city is Indaro, and there are still four islands away from here. You can reach it by moving forward in the direction of the rising sun. It is a neutral harbor city, with many pirates and evil adventurers. You may consider walking with us."

He was not afraid of being seen by Mo Hongyu and Sophie. In addition to those adventurers (gold diggers) who were attracted by gold mines and pirate treasures, a small group of knights, warriors and swordsmen would travel to various islands in the southern waters alone to hone their combat skills and will.

The last sentence seems to invite Sophie with kindness, and the Mohongyu is quite useful. How could he be an ordinary person who can escape successfully under the siege of pirates? The middle-aged knights are estimated to be the worst profession of the third-level peak. In addition to the status of the children of the nobles, with the help of these advantages, they can avoid many unnecessary troubles when entering the Indalo Harbour. Even in the chaotic southern waters, the various harbor cities will on the surface maintain appropriate respect and preferential treatment for the nobles.

The four young adventurers should trust the middle-aged man very much. When they saw him withdrawing the knight's sword, they put down their weapons and sat down.

Sophie and Mo Hongyu looked at each other and realized that the strength of the two sides was not very different, so they agreed, just taking the opportunity to learn more about the World of Vauenze.

The blazing bonfire mixed the shadows of everyone together. The four young men closed their eyes and started to rest after eating dry food. They had to cherish every second to recover their mental strength. The thin guy in a cloak was silent, curled up and hid his whole face in the shadow of the hood. For a moment, there was only the crackling sound of firewood burning.

The middle-aged knight seemed to want to inquire about the details of the young noble siblings, so he took the initiative to speak: "The two are nobles in the eastern region." There are many people with all kinds of skin colors in the world, such as there are more than a dozen red and black-skinned species in the desert, and black hair is more common in the eastern kingdoms of the mainland. It is not rare in the experience of middle-aged knights.

"Yes, uncles, you are not like ordinary adventurers either." Sophie responded vaguely, and the other party could see the flaws. He quickly changed the subject and approached the two of them to find something wrong with the group of people. Compared with adventurers, the behavior of these six people is more like a military background. After all, that kind of absolute obedience and discipline is a characteristic that soldiers in any world have, and it is also an easy-to-identify characteristic.

Sophie and Mo Hongyu thought in their hearts whether these people had any military experience before becoming adventurers, or that they were sent by the army to the Wuser Islands for missions.

"Join just call me Jon." The middle-aged knight's ordinary face showed a smile. He looked at Sophie and said, "We are not adventurers, but mercenary groups. I am a knight. I used to serve in the army. Later, for some reasons, I took them out of the army and did not have a good skill, so I had to join the Mercenary Association to make a living."

There are indeed many soldiers on the Vaughnze continent who have retired and left the army because they have no skills, so they can only continue to pick up weapons and join the mercenary group to make a living. Jon began by specifically emphasizing that he and others are not adventurers, and they are also hinting that Sophie and Mo Hongyu. They are not those greedy adventurers without any limit. Although the reputation of the mercenaries can only be considered average, they are still much better than adventurers.

Jon claimed that there were not many loopholes in this explanation, but he didn't know that the man and the woman in front of him were not people from the Vaughèn's world at all, and he didn't know these so-called "common sense". This sentence is no different from playing the piano by cows.

"Your swordsmanship is very powerful, right?" Mo Hongyu, who had not made a sound, suddenly asked.

"Sophie, Alicia, my sister and I have the name."

Sophie quickly added, God knows whether there is an oriental surname in the Vaughnze world, so be careful to choose a Western name to deal with it. It doesn’t matter if he uses his real name directly. After all, Sophie’s name comes from a French actress. Because of a mixed-race child, his mother used this name directly to save trouble.

"Miss Alicia, I have been with the sword since I was eight years old and have practiced sword skills for thirty-four years, but I just barely had some experience." Jon replied.

This is humble. Anyone who knows Jon knows that with his knight swordsmanship, he can be called a master no matter how he says it.

"My stupid brother has also wanted to learn sword skills recently, but unfortunately he has never found a good teacher. It's boring to sit here anyway. Why don't you teach him some basic sword skills to pass the time?" Mo Hongyu said without hesitation. Although he had something to ask for, his tone and expression were high. It seemed that Jon could teach his younger brother a great honor, and he immediately exerted the aura of the noble lady to the fullest. It was probably the true performance of Miss Mo Hongyu.

Of course Mo Hongyu said this very well. She keenly realized that Jon seemed to have made some attempts to the two of them, and in addition, it was just some optional basic swordsmanship, so he didn't expect that he would refuse.

What Sophie lacks now is basic swordsmanship.

Jon was not angry. He had seen many nobles who were worse than Mo Hongyu and had a bad temper. It was nothing to be arrogant. Instead, the man in black robe sitting not far away looked at Mo Hongyu and Sophido. Jon pondered for a while before he decided: "Yes, but as a reward, you have to pay me ten silver coins every day."

With the reason to teach swordsmanship, it would be more convenient to drag two people into the water. Jon also appropriately showed the mercenary's greed for money, as if he was willing to teach swordsmanship just for ten silver coins.

With a bang, a heavy burlap purse fell steadily in front of Jon, and the cold and pleasant pride of Mo Hongyu also came over at the right time: "My brother and I didn't bring much money when we escaped. There are some gold and silver coins here, so we can ask me for it if we don't have enough."

Money is naturally the spoils that were plundered from those pirates.

Jon's gray pupils shrank, not because of the arrogant and contemptuous behavior of Mo Hongyu, but the exquisite skills that Mo Hongyu inadvertently showed when he threw out his wallet and his terrible control of power. Seeing the tiny, he could see the powerful strength of the noble woman in front of him. He sighed in his heart. He was two more talented young men, but he didn't know if he could jump over that barrier in the future.

The fourth-level peak and fifth-level peak seem to be only one step away, but they are completely different worlds.

Just like the saying that a carp leaps over the dragon gate, it will be a dragon if it jumps over, but it will still be a carp if it can't jump over.

Jon calmed down his emotions, stood up and walked a few steps to pick up a companion's sword and threw it into Sophie's arms.

Sophie reached out to take the sword and lowered her head to look at it. The sword body was three fingers wide, about 90cm long, and the weight was about 1.8KG. Its appearance was similar to the knight sword in the Middle Ages on Earth. The owner of the sword obviously maintained it well. The blade body was as sharp as a cold pond in winter, making people feel chill when they saw it.

Mo Hongyu curled her fingertips and her hair drooped around her ears, and quietly handed Sophie a look that "I can only help you". She looked cold and arrogant, but her every move was surprisingly charming and enchanting.

As a master of swordsmanship, Jon could tell at a glance that Sophie had never learned swordsmanship. The sword-holding posture and sword-setting posture were simply a rookie among the rookies. The last doubts in his heart disappeared. He knew very well that not every nobleman would learn the swordsmanship of killing people. However, many young noble children would learn the fancy etiquette swordsmanship without any lethality in order to win the hearts of beautiful people.

"I will teach you the four most basic sword moves first. When you truly master these four sword moves, I will teach you the thirty-two sword moves derived."

Jon walked to the middle step by step and looked at Sophie with his gray eyes.

After saying that, he drew out the knight's sword and practiced it carefully in one style, stabbing, chopping, picking, and pressing. There were no extra movements and postures, just four sword postures.
